Long-Term Monitoring Optimization (LTMO) for Groundwater Seminar
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, California EPA, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Navy sponsored the first seminar on
Long-Term Monitoring Optimization (LTMO) for Groundwater seminar in March 2005. This
seminar provided state and federal regulators with information about new quantitative
methods of LTMO for groundwater to assist them in making appropriate decisions
regarding the optimal location and frequency of groundwater monitoring and the
approval of changes to groundwater monitoring networks. The seminar also included
hands-on training in the use of three of these methods: the Monitoring and Remediation
Optimization System (MAROS), the Geostatistical Temporal-Spatial (GTS) Algorithm, and
the three-tiered Monitoring Network Optimization (MNO) approach.

Accelerating Site Close Out, Improving Performance, and Reducing Costs
through Optimization
June 15-17, 2004, Dallas, TX.

FRTR, ITRC, and SERDP/ESTCP jointly sponsored this conference as a follow-up to the
1999 Optimization Conference. (See below for more information on the 1999
Conference.)

Topics covered during the conference included case studies of long-term monitoring
optimization, remediation technology optimization and new technical and policy
guidance related to optimization.
